Zilinskiene funded the company with £13,000 of personal investment and it continues to operate without external funding. This example of bootstrapping is rare within the City; the company has a global network of 3,000 translators and interpreters. Zilinskiene engages in government and media briefings, as well as forums organised by multinational companies. In 2006, Zilinskiene organised a trade mission with over 20 delegates from multinational organisations such as Merrill Lynch, to seize business opportunities in Lithuania; the trade mission involved Lithuanian parliamentarians and British diplomats, causing international media interest. To mark the success of the trip, Zilinskiene was given a UK Trade & Investment Certificate of Appreciation for her contribution to enhancing international trade by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. In October 2010, she was nominated to, accepted, the Freedom of the City of London at a ceremony in the Guildhall, becoming the first female Lithuanian to receive the Freeman title.

She was subsequently recognised as a Liveryman to the Worshipful Company of Fruiterers, one of the City's oldest fellowships. She sits on the ChinaInterest Group Committee. In June 2013, Zilinskiene took part in a panel discussion at Forum One in Kaunas, the biggest business leadership event to take place in Eastern Europe; the event featured some of the brightest Lithuanian business minds and a special talk by one of Zilinskiene's business idols, Sir Richard Branson. In recognition of her sustained business success, Zilinksiene was invited to be part of the judging panel for the Shell LiveWIRE Award for Young Entrepreneurs in 2015, the award she herself received 12 years prior. In September 2016, Zilinskiene was selected to participate in the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses initiative aimed at supporting SMEs, she graduated from the programme in the same year. Shortly afterwards Zilinskiene was invited to attend an Executive Education course at Harvard Business School. In September 2012, Zilinskiene co-hosted the Courage and Benevolence Ball alongside the English actor, Sir Timothy Ackroyd at Café de Paris in London.

The event was sponsored by Guildhawk and raised money towards Epidermolysis Bullosa research and treatment for the charity, DebRA.

Matt Cooke, reporter for BBC London News interviewed Zilinskiene in June 2011 regarding her involvement in the Ready to Supply programme run by the City of London Corporation. In October 2009, Zilinskiene was interviewed by STV about the initiative launched by Guildhawk to recruit Glaswegian interpreters; the Glaswegian interpreter campaign was similar to the recruitment of Geordie and Brooklynese interpreters. However, this was met with some trepidation and controversy around the need to translate local dialects.

In November 2016, Zilinskiene’s company advertised for ‘the world’s first emoji translator’, which received widespread media coverage. As a result of the unusual job advertisement, Zilinskeine appeared on BBC, ITV News, Vice, as well as several radio stations
